Mariners surface cautious rehab for Raleigh and Donovan as timelines stay unclear

Mariners GM Justin Hollander provided injury updates on Cal Raleigh (right oblique strain) and Brendan Donovan (left groin strain), saying both are progressing but with no clear return dates. Raleigh has begun 30 tee-swings at moderate intensity and will workout in Arizona before a potential Seattle check-in, with progression focused on intensity rather than volume. Donovan is in Arizona on an Alter G treadmill and will move to running and baseball movements as he nears a running progression. Both players will require minor league rehab assignments and the club will proceed cautiously to avoid setbacks, with timelines remaining day-to-day rather than calendar-based.

Mariners Call Up Will Wilson to Fill Donovan’s IL Vacancy

Seattle placed Brendan Donovan on the 10-day injured list with a left groin strain (retroactive to April 18) and selected infielder Will Wilson to take his roster spot, while Miles Mastrobuoni was moved to the 60-day IL to clear a 40-man slot. Donovan has hip and groin history, with past sports hernia surgery, and the club is weighing how long he’ll be out as Emerson remains in Tacoma. Wilson provides infield depth with limited MLB experience, as Seattle assesses its options at third and other infield spots.

Mariners land All-Star Brendan Donovan in three-team MLB swap

Seattle acquires All-Star Brendan Donovan from the Cardinals in a three-team trade with the Rays. Seattle sends two prospects (Jurrangelo Cijntje and Tai Peete) to the Cardinals and third baseman Ben Williamson to the Rays; the Rays receive outfielder Colton Ledbetter to the Cardinals. Both Seattle and Tampa Bay also ship two competitive-balance Round B picks to St. Louis. Donovan, 29, a versatile infielder and 2025 All-Star, is under team control for 2026 at a $5.8 million salary, while the Cardinals continue their rebuild around youth and payroll relief.

Mariners Close In on Brendan Donovan Deal in 3-Team Trade

Seattle is near a deal to land Brendan Donovan from the Cardinals in a likely three-team swap that would also involve the Rays, who are set to receive Mariners infielder Ben Williamson. Donovan is a versatile, contact‑hitting infielder/outfielder (career line of .282/.361/.411 with a 119 wRC+) on a modest $5.8M salary for 2026, making him a fit for Seattle’s lineup as the Cardinals push a rebuild.

Donovan on the Trade Radar as Red Sox Weigh Keystone Move

Brendan Donovan remains with the Cardinals as the Red Sox, Mariners and Giants circle, with Boston potentially using him to fill a second-base vacancy if Marcelo Mayer moves to third; Donovan’s versatility is appealing but his defense at second is below average, and Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner is another option requiring a pitcher and a prospect. Boston hopes to resolve the situation before spring training, while St. Louis isn’t under pressure to trade him, potentially yielding a big return if deals materialize.

Giants Target High-Impact 2B Upgrades in Hoerner or Donovan

San Francisco has intensified its pursuit of a proven second baseman, reportedly targeting Cubs’ Nico Hoerner and Cardinals’ Brendan Donovan as upgrades to a weak 2025 group. Donovan appears more attainable given St. Louis’s rebuild, while Hoerner would be a close, high-contact fit; both are 29 next season with defensive versatility. Trade costs could be steep, and Cubs’ win-now posture or Cardinals’ rebuilding push could shape the package. The Giants have payroll room after adding rotation pieces and remain open to other routes (including market shifts from Bo Bichette’s status) to address the position.

"Injury to Brendan Donovan Shakes Up Cardinals' Infield and DH Lineup"

St. Louis Cardinals utility defender Brendan Donovan will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a ligament in his throwing arm, which is not Tommy John surgery. Donovan had been limited to DH at-bats since July 5 due to discomfort in his arm. His absence will impact the Cardinals' lineup, as players like Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado will have fewer opportunities for partial days off by moving into the DH spot. Tommy Edman will replace Donovan at shortstop, while Nolan Gorman is expected to play at second base. Top prospect Masyn Winn may make his major-league debut at some point in 2023.

Brendan Donovan's Season-Ending Surgery Shakes Up Cardinals' Lineup

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Brendan Donovan will undergo season-ending surgery for a flexor tendon injury in his throwing arm. Donovan, who made an impressive debut last season, won a Gold Glove award and finished third in NL Rookie of the Year voting. Despite a slight dip in performance this season, he remained an above-average regular. The loss of Donovan adds to the Cardinals' recent trades and impacts their competitiveness. The team will rely on other players to fill his position, but further trades before the deadline could change the playing time picture.
